Very Human Features (LOSER Edition Purple Vinyl)

LP number four, Very Human Features, arrives hot on the heels of the band's first Sub Pop release, 2024's On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System. That record saw the band continue their love affair with BBC Radio 6, start up a new one with KEXP thanks to a session with them, and crop up in the pages of the NME. Anything else from the bucket list? Oh yeah, festival slots including packing home ground Green Man's Walled Garden to it's non-existent rafters. Then shows across the US in those venues us Brits tend to only hear about.

This record - a new batch of typically playful, riff-laden, smart Bug Club tunes - gives the band an excuse to continue their never-ending tour and feed their baying fans, engorged and expectant thanks to this band's relentless record-releasing hot streak.
